For your sake I hope that your right, but I just don't know. MLB hitters always seem to catch up with the imports eventually. Remeber Hideki Irabu?

Better luck tonight, Go Sox!!
he's looked good in every one of his outings, unfortunately for him he's had no run support whatsoever.

Hey Esthete, I believe the baseball gods decided to smile on your team the day after the "infield fly" game you were grumbling about. :lol: :lol: Ouch, that was a prime ass-kicking. I can only hope Sheets continues on his stinking up the joint mode for our head to head matchup :lol: :lol:

Yeah, the Reds' bats finally woke up a little last night. I can tell you one thing, I am very impressed and excited about that Josh Hamilton...the Reds picked him up in the Rule V draft from TB. If you remember, he was drafted 1st overall (ahead of Josh Beckett) that year, but got into a serious funk with injuries and drug addition. He finally gotten himself cleaned up and healthy, and boy, does he look terrific. He has great plate discipline, incredible power, and has played excellent defense so far. He could be a superstar if he hold it together.
(And I picked him up in our Fantasy league if you noticed

I'm still debating whther or not I even play him for his start this week. The Fantasy gods still aren't liking me very much, as whenever I can't decide whether to keep someone on the bench or play them, the decision always seems to be the wrong one :lol:. Yesterday, I sat Adrian Gonzalez, only to see him hammer out 4 hits. I left Cabrera on the bench today, and sure enough, he's 2/3.
I did get 15.0 innings of stellar pitching from Gil Meche & Jeremy Bonderman today, but wouldn't you know it, neither got a win, thanks to an implosion by the Tiger bullpen.
cratch: It's more frustrating than it is fun right now...

This isn't just a knee-jerk reaction to Westbrook getting hammered by the Yankees, but he's not worth the money. He signed a 3 year 33 mill extension. He's a decent pitcher but not much more. I don't know, these baseball salaries are just ridiculous. 11 mill/year is a pretty darn good salary for being the fourth best starting pitcher on your own team.

Well, we got out first no hitter of the season. Pretty good day for Mr. Buehrle.

Good call. He was one walk away from a perfect game. To think that Sammy Sosa was responsible for preventing a perfect game. Crazy stuff.

Manny *finally* hits his 1st HR of the season, tying the game with the Jays, and raising his season BA to a whopping .200.
Wouldn't ya know it .....the first year I play fantasy baseball, I am excited to get ManRam, only to see him get off to one of the slowest starts he's ever had.

Fuck, if the Jays had a better bullpen Halliday would get about 30 wins every year (that is if he didn't get hurt). I don't know if there's an official stat for this but I bet Halliday has had the most blown wins in the last 4 years by his bullpen than any other pitcher, 2 already this year and he's only had 4 starts.

I feel your pain, was really excited to get Soriano with my first pick and have him struggling to find first base :roll:

Looks like another long year in Cleveland. Wedge is horrible. Borowski looks like he doesn't have a go to pitch to get good hitters out. This is probably gonna be a looooooooooooooong year in Cleveland. :x :x

Dont sweat it Horrible, Manny will be back to his old self before you know it!
Sweet come back win, sorry Jays fans..
- grimes - 04-19-2007
Man that was a tough one today for the Jays, can't afford to lose games like that if they want to be serious contenders in this division. I took an extended lunch break to catch a some of the game today, ended up staying till the 7th and all was well at that point. By the time I walked back to my office, it was 3-3. Why stupid Gibby took Halladay out when he did is beyond me...his pitch count was still under 100 and he was rolling...
I suppose the bullpen doesn't get all the blame for this one though, as the offense contributed only 6 runs in the 3 games against Boston. You can't expect to win much if you average 2 runs a game.
